I do not own the 1957 edition, but the 1981 edition states: "The revised edition
contains several additional species and subspecies, revised distribution maps
for all fish, more detailed habitat and life history information, and more
recent ecological findings. . . . Nothing has been eliminated from the first
edition. The primary effort was to bring the book up to date by adding the fish
data acquired in 23 years since the original publication."
Now that Randy Sanders -- who will be speaking at the NANFA convention, and is
writing an Ohio fishes article for the next AC -- has re-surveyed Ohio's fishes,
there's a need for a 3rd edition.
Quiz time:
1) What's the most frequently occurring fish in Ohio (found in the most number
of streams)?
2) What's the most abundant fish in Ohio?
Rob C., Mark B., and Jay D., you can't answer.

"Conservation is sometimes perceived as stopping everything cold, as holding
whooping cranes in higher esteem than people. It is up to science to spread the
understanding that the choice is not between wild places or people. Rather, it
is between a rich or an impoverished existence for Man."
-- Thomas E. Lovejoy
